Covid-19 RNA based Vaccines An The Risk Of Prion Disease
By J. Bart Classen M.D., Classen Immunotherapies Inc.
It’s apparently all over Fast-Buck Zucks’ Fascist Fun-Pages. and the claim is that Prions are bio-weapons and that the Pfizer Vaccine causes Dementia & Alzheimer’s Disease up to for years after immunization, because the Polio vaccine cause Polio don’t you know, and this is a case of the “Cure being worse than the ailment.” They even bring Bill Gates into the conversation.
I’ve probably received this study or links to it from a dozen people who get their news off Facebook.
If you receive one of these E-Mails from some alarmed persons, here’s your response with the appropriate links:
John Barthelow Classen is an American immunologist and anti-vaccinationist. He received his M.D. from the University of Maryland, Baltimore in 1988, his M.B.A. from Columbia University in 1992 and obtained his medical license in October 1997.[1][2] He is best known for publishing research concluding that vaccines, in particular the Hib vaccine, cause insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus,[3] a hypothesis he proposed based on experiments he conducted on mice in 1996.[4] His views are disputed and considered unverified.
A widely-reposted 2021 Facebook post claiming that the mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 could cause prion diseases was based on a paper by Classen. The paper was published in Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, whose publisher, Scivision Publishers, is included in Beall's list of publishers of predatory journals. Vincent Racaniello, professor of microbiology and immunology at Columbia University, described the claim as "completely wrong".[5][6][7]
